ETERNA

Eterna is a Swiss luxury watch company founded in Grenchen, Canton Solothurn on 7 November 1856 by Josef Girard and Urs Schild. The company is now owned by Hong Kong based Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited (an investment holding company formerly known as China Haidian Holdings until 2014). On 7 November 1856, Dr. Joseph Girard and Urs Schild, a 28-year-old school teacher, founded the ébauche factory "Dr. Girard & Schild“. Eight years later the enterprise set out the mutual rights and obligations of employees and employers in writing. Urs Schild became a National Councilor in 1882. Six years later, he died at the age of 58. After the death of Urs Schild his son Max took over the company and soon made a business trip to the United States. He returned to introduce machinery to the craftsmen. Max Schild was ahead of his time and his ideas were unpopular. Discouraged, he left the company and handed power over to his brother Theodore, with whom Eterna entered a prosperous 20th century.

ABOUT THIS ETERNA-MATIC KONTIKI FOR SALE

The "Kontiki" name History

In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl and five crew members set out on a journey from South America to Polynesia on a wooden raft. They set out to prove the possibility of contact between the civilizations of the two regions in ancient times.

The name of the raft was KonTiki.

Crew members of the KonTiki supposedly wore Eterna watches. A reasonable choice, as for what it’s worth, Eterna was one of the few brands that managed to get just about everything right, waterproof cases included.

This is a classic women's wristwatch according to the trends of 1970's era. Offered in very good condition with only some light and not annoying traces of wear on the case. Dial and Crystal in very good condition. It keeps excellent time! It is offered with a rare 1970's NOS  caoutchouc strap.
